I'm making a very very short amateur video game for fun. A friend recommended I use C#.
I'm a total noob to programming, so I need *a lot* of help.
Coding would involve clicking on a portion of the screen and being redirected to a new screen. For example, clicking on uhh a sofa would bring you to a closeup of the sofa.
It would be nice if I could incorporate background music and maybe some other audio files of characters speaking, but I understand if that would be too difficult.
I've made all the game files except ONE [still waiting on my friend to get me her last audio file, but yea I might not even end up using any audio at all], and I've typed up a game layout in notepad.
Help please!

C# is good because of the IDE.
For newbie, I think go for python.

If you are serious about doing this with codes then use python and use pygame with python. Its pretty good judging ur idea of the game.
I i ever made a game i would use 3d-max. Its fast, easy and perfect for games, and you can start from scratch like i did vdout any formal training.

In addition to takercena's post, PyGame for Python is an easy-to-use framework for making games. It has everything you need, from audio- to cdrom management.

When you're more confident, you could try the XNA Game Studio. It's really complex, but very powerful.

Whats XNA stand for?

According to Microsoft themselves, XNA's Not Acronymed.

It's certainly a clever name!
